I'm not sure who normally starts these challenges so if I am stepping on toes, sorry! I was just anxious to get it started.

Now that the Memorial Day Challenge is officially over, who wants to join me in the July 4th Challenge? We have a little over 5 weeks in this challenge so I will make two goals:

1. Get to Onederland

2. Lose 11 lbs

My starting weight for this challenge is 201 lbs. Good Luck to everyone!

This was fun! I made goal, plus three more pounds!

SW: 220

GW: 210

CW: 207

SW-147

GW-142

CW-144.6

I lost 2.5 pounds during this challenge instead of the 5 I was hoping for. Its okay, a loss is a loss. I am so close to goal it is going to take a while to get there because the closer you get the harder it is. Im okay with that as long as I am losing. See ya the next challenge.

OK, I'm in too. I think I need a little inspiration.

I will put myself in for 10 lbs. and upping my exercise to 5 days a week from 3.

Starting at 285.9 (hey those decimals are important! )

July 4th Challenge weight goal: 275

So, that would be 10.9 pounds

Well, I lost 9 of the 10.9 I wanted to lose by today, and I DID achieve the 5 day/week workout schedule, so all in all I think this was a success! Sure, i missed the mark a little, but I really did all I humanly could to get there. Good job everyone.

Brandymarie, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Praying for your comfort.

Well didn't do as well as I'd like currently 643.

But okay I guess since I'm 18 hours pre sleeve.

Well since being sleeved monday morning I've lost about 20 pounds, I think it was from the saline solution iv plus having catheter, lost a lot of water weight. But have been walking some and only eating 100 or 200 calories a day. Plus how ever much half a stomach weighs lol.

I was 645 monday, now scale says 619.

I didn't make my goal of 15. I'm down 11 pounds. I was so close. I had two stalls during this challenge. I'm going to try harder for the labor day challenge.

Missed goal by 1 lousy pound. Labor Day Challenge here I come!

Would you believe that stupid one pound decided to fall off this morning? I hope everyone stayed safe and enjoyed the holiday.

Ha! So I saw your post and decided to weigh this morning and I weighed in at 189.8. My goal was 190 and yesterday I weighed in at 190.4 and missed it by 4 lousy ounces. Maybe we'll kick butt in the labor day challenge and actually make goal by labor day and not the day after. Lol! Good luck to us!!!!!

So today...I stepped on scale and guess who is under 250....Me... I am so happy...dancing with fire...yes I am
